I don't know if any of you have seen this, but on resexcellence.com a long time ago, some guy posted his desktop that featured the Where the Wild Things are icons. He had a great quality desktop that was actually just a landscape scene from the book and he placed his icons all around the screen (had them running along a river or something).

Does anyone remember this or know where I can find such a wallpaper? I searched every single page Google images had to offer but came up with nothing =(

I hope this is in the right forum.

i'm sorry but could i ask you a question 'fireside'?
why would you bother to post...when you have no input to the thread?
i too, was under the impression that the icons and the wallpaper came as a set...
i believe i remember seeing this on resexcellence as well...but alas i know not where it may be found...

Mike...you might get lucky by asking over in the resex forums...

Well here's the icons if anyone wants them.
Also the icons come w/ the guys email address that made them. you can always email him and find out where he got the wallpaper.

Thanks guys. I posted on the RE boards but got nothing really, and I emailed the author. Hopefully I'll find it somewhere!

*sigh* i was posting but i was looking to see if i could actually _find_ the wallpaper the guy wanted. i might have sounded harsh but i mean, i wasnt really in a good mood and thats something i found annoying so get over it with your "everyone must be nice blah blah blah" stuff. its pretty annoying where you go on every thread where someone has said something off topic and you go on and on about your ideals.

Are you still looking for this? I am pretty sure that I downloaded it a while ago (maybe a year), and I believe that I have it on a backup CD somewhere.
So if you are still looking for the desktop, I might be able to locate it somewhere. Might take a few days tho.
We need less Democrats and Republicans, and more people that think for themselves.
